Sets or returns the relative record number of a Recordset object's current record.
Settings and Return Values
The setting or return value is a Long from 0 to one less than the number of records in the Recordset object. It corresponds to the ordinal position of the current record in the Recordset object specified by the object.
Syntax
VOIDSetAbsolutePosition(LONG l);
LONGGetAbsolutePosition(VOID);
Set Parameters
| Type | Example | Description |
| LONG | l | A Long containing a relative record number from 0 to one less than the number of records in the Recordset. |
Remarks
You can use the AbsolutePosition property to position the current record pointer to a specific record based on its ordinal position in a dynaset- or snapshot-type Recordset object. You can also determine the current record number by checking the AbsolutePosition property setting.
Because the AbsolutePosition property value is zero-based, you cannot set it to a value greater than or equal to the number of populated records; doing so causes a trappable error. You can determine the number of populated records in the Recordset object by checking the RecordCount property setting. The maximum allowable setting for the AbsolutePosition property is the value of the RecordCount property minus 1.
